    I am restoring my 67' CJ-5 and while I can find new tailgates and new tailgate cables, I can't seem to find the lil latch piece that seems to be missing fromthe tub of my Jeep.

    Any hints on where to find that part or the best way to fab one ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I was gonna mention I though Boyink may have some :) . I've got some original tailgate chains in the shop, the early CJ's used chains not cables.
    If interested, PM me. I'm in Portland, OR, so not too far away. Nickmil.

    Yes I think thats what I am looking for. Something that keeps the tailgate closed and gives me somewhere to attach the chains.
